Overview

• Junts leaders intensified warnings of a parliamentary blockade after PSOE emissaries, including José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, failed to secure concessions in recent meetings in Switzerland and Brussels.
• Junts will force a Congress vote on Tuesday to transfer immigration powers to the Catalan government, a measure expected to fail due to Podemos’ refusal to back what it calls a racist project.
• PSOE sources downplay a rupture with Junts, casting the hard line as tactical, and consider a no‑confidence alliance with PP and Vox unlikely because it would punish Junts electorally.
• The government leans on foreign policy messaging over Gaza as it faces isolation from Junts, ERC and Podemos in Madrid, with Sánchez set to highlight that stance at the UN.
• PP secretary general Miguel Tellado accuses the executive of stoking street confrontation, cites the La Vuelta protest as a rehearsal, and seizes on the malfunctioning anti‑violence bracelets to press for accountability.
